Oops, this got cut short because I was editing something else.

It was supposed to be "You're doing it for the sealife, not the
particular location".

Now, blackwater dives tend to be about plankton etc, but you do have
other similar cases where you follow the life, not some geographic
feature. We *tried* to find whale-sharks. Again, had that worked
better, it wouldn't necessarily be anywhere _near_ a "dive site", it
would be "hey, we saw a whale shark and jumped in at this location".
